Those cloudy skies will soon be replaced with sunny ones, and I look forward to being able to take my toddlers outside without bundling them up! It’s a lot easier to get the kids out the door when it’s warm out, that’s for sure.

This winter has been very good for photography. When I first got my camera a few years ago, I was sure I’d be putting it on the shelf for the winter. I couldn’t imagine what there might be to photograph during a long, dreary North Dakota winter. I was completely wrong. The past several months have been especially fruitful, especially with conditions providing those spikes of light due to ice fog on occasion.

Even so, I’m looking forward to the photo opportunities Spring will provide! I love deep snow as much as the next person, but it’s time for a new season. As the colors return, my camera and I will be ready.
